TESTS OF PAINTS, 



Phtxadelphia. Pa., September 1, 1886. 

SiE : In the test of paints (second series), in accordance with Xavy Department cirealar of December 16, 1884 
(copy of circular Inclosed, marked A), commenced by Xaval Constructor Samuel H. Pook, U. S. X.. and completed by 
me under instructions from Bureau of Construction and Repair, dated June 20, 1885 (inclosed, marked B), and ^Tavy 
Department order of 9th of July, 1885 (inclosed, marked C), I have endeavored to report the facts relatinor to each 
composition furnished. 

Upon assuming charge of the tests, the plates at Key West, Norfolk, and League Island, Philadelphia, Pa., had 
been painted and immersed, leaving the plates at Portsmouth, X. H., and the bottom of the U. S. b. Speedwell to 
be painted and immersed. 

The plates were cleaned to the bare steel by burning, scraping, and immersion in acid and water, then washed 
and dried. 

The samples were put on according to the directions furnished by the manufacturers or agents. 

In the test upon the U. S. S. Speedwell, the bottom was cleaned to the iron, and where any scale appeared it 
was removed; she was then painted in cross sections, the samples which were forward and aft on starboard side 
were put on amidships on port side and those amidships on starboard side were put on at the euds on port side, 
giving to each sample two positious. The above-named vessel was taken out of dock September 4, 1885, put in 
commission October 6, 1885, and out of commission .January 8, 1886, steaming about 338 miles on 26 different dates 
(see inclosed memorandum D) : the balance of the time to date tif inspection, July 8, 1886, she remained fast to the 
wharf at the navy-yard, Norfolk, Va. 

When the sectious upon both sides of this vessel were examined there was so little difference that only one 
Ulustration was deemed necessary. 

Appended is a tabulated statement of the test made at Key West. Fla.: Norfolk, Va. ; League Island, 
Philadelphia, Pa. ; Portsmouth, X. FI. : and upon the U. S. S. Speedwell only one examination was made (completion 
of tests). In these tables it will be noticed that in the test at League Island no weight of plates before painting is 
given, as none could be found on record. At Key West the first thiiteeu are placed in the order of merit: at 
Norfolk, Va., the first fouiteeu are in the order of merit: at League Island all are so placed : at Portsmouth, X. H., 
the first fifteen are jdaced in the same order, and on the d. S. S. Speedwell the fiist seven are iu the order of merit. 
I also append photographic illustrations of every sample at all of the stations (except League Island) and on the 
Speedwell. In these illustrations care was taken to have them represent a fair average of the sample. 

1 do not consider that the painting of plates and putting them in crates is as good a test of the qualities of 
the paint as to have it on an open surface, as will readily be seen by reference to plate 14, which represents one 
of the crates as taken from the water at the navy -yard at Xortblk, Va. 

All compositions which require heat to produce a fluidity snlficient for application were found very difficult 
to lay on smooth. 

While I was waiting for the docking of the S])eedwell at the navy-yard at Norfolk, Va., the Albatross was 
placed in the dock and cleaned and painted. I observed that there was very little fouling upon her bottom, but 
that the paint was well worn, and upon inquiry of her commanding officer, learned that she had been painted over a 
year, and that she had l»een in fresh water twice during the time, and that she was painted with red lead and 
white zinc mixed. I mention this as there were no samples of this composition in our tests. 

The plates at League Island were immersed March 30, 1885, and removed from the water December 10, 1885 

Plates at Key West, Fla.. immersed April 24, 1885, and removed January 19, 1886. 

Plates at JJorfolk, Va., immersed May 23, 1885, and removed from water February 16 and 17, 1886. 

Plates at Portsmouth. X. H., were immersed July 31. 1885. and removed from the water April 6, 1886. 

U. S. S. Speedwell undocked September 4, 1885, and redocked July 8, 1886.

[Circular.] 
TEST OF PAINTS, SECOND SERIES, SUGGESTED BY THE NAVAL ADVISORY BOARD. 

The Navy Departuieut will test paints, anti-corrosive and anti-fouling compositions, for the wetted surfaces of 
steel vessels. Samples are invited from makers. 

These experiments are undertaken in view of the desirability of obtaining the most efiBcient anti-fouling and 
anti-corrosive paint or compositions for covering the wetted surfaces of steel vessels. 

Makers or owners of such materials are invitee^ to send samples to the commandant of the navy-yards at New 
York, Portsmouth, N. H., League Island, Philadelphia, Pa., and Norfolk, Va., before February 1, 1885. Each sample 
is to be sufficient to cover a surface of 75 square feet, except the sample to be sent to Norfolk, which is to be sufficient 
to cover a suiface 200 feet in area. The samples are to be marked " Paint Samples for Test," with the maker's 
name upon the package. 

In retuim, the Navy Department guarantees to each person furnishing samples a complete official report of the 
result of the experiments. 

Nothing in the trials or reports shall be considered binding on the Department to accept any of the material 
for use. 

The tests will be made under, as nearly as possible, the same conditions that occur in practice. 

The test plates will be of steel of the same quality as that used for outside plating of vessels, each to be 2 feet 
6 inches by 3 feet, and to weigh 5 pounds per square foot. 

The plates will be carefully cleaned, dried, and weighed, then covered on both sides with paint or composition, 
and weighed again. The plates will also be weighed at each inspection. 

Two plates will be covered with each kind of paint, and will be immersed at Portsmouth, N. H., League Island, 
Philadelphia, Norfolk, Va., and Key West, Fla., and each sample of paint will also be applied in two places to the 
bottom of some United States vessel, and will be inspected at the same time as the plates. The makers or owners 
of paints will please furnish instructions as to the application of their paints, which will be carefully followed. 
All communications on this subject should be addressed to Naval Constructor S. H. Pook, inspector of paints, League 
Island navy-yard, Philadeli)hia, Pa. 

The plates will be placed in a cage, insulated from one another, and so buoyed as to be always totally immersed, 
care being taken that no galvanic action can be set up with adjacent matter. 

If possible, the cages will be moox'ed in positions and currents in which vessels usually lie in the places above 
mentioned. 

The total period of immersion of the test plates will be eight months, and they will also be examined at the end 
of four months. 

No sample will be tested that is not delivered bv February 1.

ment's circular of December 16, 1885. 

Orders will be sent to the commandant of the Norfolk navy-yard early in July to dock the Speedwell, and 
to have her bottom cleaned and painted with samples of the paint submitted, the work to be carried on under the 
sui)ervisiou of Naval Constructor S. H. Pook. 

You will please give such instructions as will insure all communications relative to the paint tests being of an 
entirely official nature. 



Copies of all letters received on this subject will be ftimished this Bureau, and all correspondence in answer 
thereto will be sent through it, in order that a complete and full record of all that transpires in relation to the 
matter in question may be on file. 

The Naval Advisory Board, by order of the Department, has furnished the Bureau with the entire official corre- 
spondence relative to the second series of paint tests to June 11, 1885; but. to mate it complete, a copy of Con-

P. S. — Flat shell resembling boiler scale, referred to in description of plates 223 and 224, is a very flat thin scale shell, with a grain resembling the surface of a 
Qlam shell, having a thickness of one-eighth of an inch in a shell of three inches diameter. It adheres very closely to the suiface of Ipaint or iron. In many cases 
upon the removal of this shell the paint was found to be good under it. 

The scum or'mud covering the surface of nearly all of the plates had the appearance of pulverized coral or slaked lime. 

The first thirteen samples are in the order of merit as an anti-fouling and anti-corrosive composition for the bottom of iron ships.
